This was our second time here. Luckily our Daughter remembered and knew how to place the orders and what the food was. We were a bit lost. The food is great and there is a good variety of dishes to choose from. We love everything about this place. It is a little septic and impersonal. It needs a little more warmth and an inviting atmosphere. Then it would be a 5+

We absolutely loved this place. It's a bit on the pricey side. $60 for all you can eat lunch , just mom and an 8-year-old. We had a good time though, food was delicious, and servers were kind.

Picked the all-you-can eat option and was not disappointed. Though the portions are smaller than if you ordered from the regular menu, the all-you-can eat feature compensated. The food came out in a timely manner and flavors and texture of are something else. The music was a nice ambience as I ate too. Made sure to give a tip!

Amazing food and environment!!! I was trying to find a sushi restaurant around the bowmanville area, and this is definitely the best one I have been to. Their sushi was made thoughtfully, with really interesting presentation. They also have great services there, the waiters are all so nice and always ready to help. I have went here for a few times now and I still place it as my top 1.
